With the first round of the DFB Pokal this weekend, Royal-Dominique Fennell and the Stuttgarter Kickers are looking for a big upset , while Bobby Wood and 1860 Munich are hoping to quell recent controversy.

The current season has consistently gone from bad, to worse, to bordering on a Shakespearean tragedy for Nürnberg, and after last weekend's home loss to Hoffenheim dropped them down into the bottom three, they suffered another blow that will affect them well into 2012.

Jermaine Jones continued his run in the Schalke starting lineup as they scored a late victory at Karlsruhe while Timothy Chandler and Nürnberg held on at Aue to advance to the final 16 of the German Cup.
